Problem with JWindow

Question

Hi all,
I have a very important question....
I created a small application and when i launch it, i'd like to have a JWindow displayed on my screen only during 5 seconds.... So i run my application, my JWindow is displayed during 5 seconds and then the application "really" begins.
But how do i have to proceed to have my JWindow displayed only during 5 seconds and then close automatically???
Thanx very much for helping....

        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    private static void showSplash(final Component c)
        JLabel label = new JLabel("hang on, it's coming...", JLabel.CENTER);
        final JWindow w = new JWindow();
        w.getContentPane().add(label);
        w.setSize(200,200);
        w.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        w.setVisible(true);
        final Timer timer = new Timer(5000, new ActionListener()
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                w.dispose();
                c.setVisible(true);
        timer.setRepeats(false);
        timer.start();
